Each question is
worth one point.
Read each
question carefully and write the full answer in your own words.
1. What is the full name of the
person who proposed the equation on my t-shirt I wore on Friday Sept 14. Also
what year did he formulate this equation and what is his profession?
2. What is this formula attempting
to calculate?
3. Why are scientists interested
in this?
4. Why would this be my favorite
equation?
5. What is the Goldilocks zone
and why is important in this equation?
Good luck!

1.The full name of the man who created the equation on the shirt is Frank Drake. The Equation was invented in 1961.

1)Dr. Frank Drake in 1961

2. The Drake Equation estimates the likelihood of us finding alien life in the galaxy.
ReplyDeleteMoritz
Both of you have not fully answered #1.
ReplyDeleteAlso not exactly right with #2 Moritz.
Mr A
2) number of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy
ReplyDeletenoora
2) it was trying to claculate how many possible intelligent, communicating civilization there are in our galaxy
ReplyDeletenoora
1. His name is Frank Donald Drake who works in SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) also a professor. He found this equation in 1961. His profession is electronics and chemistry.
ReplyDelete1) he is Frank Donald Drake born on 1930 and he was American astronomer and astrophysicist.

You got #2 Noora=1 point.
ReplyDeleteJason and Noora on #2, both not quite right.
Mr A
number 2? I didn't do number two..
Deletemr alan u mean #1 that we are not right on??
ReplyDeleteand whats with the duck am wondering
noora
Read the question carefully Noora.
ReplyDeleteIts not just a duck, its a drake.
Mr A
so is drake a male duck.
ReplyDeleteYes it is!!
ReplyDeleteMr A
That should be #! is wrong Jason and Noora.
ReplyDeleteMr A
1. Frank Donald Drake is an astronomer. He formulated the equation in 1961.
ReplyDeleteFelix.
Yes Felix , correct=1 point.
ReplyDeleteMr A
1.Frank Donald Drake is an American astronomer and astrophysicist and formulated the equation in 1960

Only #1 and #2 have been answered correctly so far!!

5)goldilock zone is the habitable zone the region in a star-centered orbit where an Earth-like planet can maintain liquid water on its surface and Earth-like life.its important with this equation because its used to estimate the number of detectable extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy.
ReplyDeletenoora
4) its ur favriote equation becaause of something to do with ur name? ADW?
ReplyDeletethat was me noora is ur middle name drake or something
ReplyDelete5)goldilocks is \the habitable zone (HZ) is the region in a star-centered orbit where an Earth-like planet can maintain liquid water on its surface and Earth-like life.and its important to the equation used to estimate the number of detectable extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy.
ReplyDelete4) its ur favriote because is ur middle name drake
OK Noora, #5=1 point
ReplyDeleteYes Noora it is my middle name! 1 point for #4
Mr A
Only #3 left.
ReplyDeleteMr A
3)
ReplyDeleteIn order to find out if there is alien life on the galaxy we need to solve the equation and in order to do this scientists need to know factors in the equation. Some factors are known such as S. (The rate of of star formation in our galaxy).But there are some unknown factors.such as N. ( The number of planets that could potetially bear life around each star and that has planets). Once the all factors are known, it could provide us interesting infomation and the equation can be solved.
